Training Camp II

With May 1st being a holiday and 30th April a half day this past weekend was another opportunity to attempt a 4 day tour - without leaving home that is.
The good news is there won't be any more snowy bike photos on this blog till next winter, unless I'm up a high pass quite soon that is. Saturday was 28 degrees and sunny, so I made the most with a massive ride in the Black Forest, over to Munstertal then up Wiederner Eck, Badenwieler and to to the top of Hoch Blauen - but still the hotel is closed at the top, until mid May, so no coffee and cake on this day.
Hanami side trip to Kirschenland
Sundays ride was the classic Scheltenhaus, Endenberg, Zell, Riedichen loop, yesterday was a ride in the Jura and today a recovery ride along the international road to Lucelle.
In doing so the 461km, 11790(Strava)m of ascent took me up the Strava Classic Challenge, just making the top 100 in 94th place. Don't know how much to read into that, I have climbed more with the daily commutes, but in all the challenge has been added motivation over the past 4 days.
